The is_home() conditional returns true when the currently displayed page is the blog posts index. If you want to target the site front page specifically instead, you need to use is_front_page(): function wpse83754_filter_pre_get_posts( $query ) { if ( $query->is_main_query() && is_front_page() ) { $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘home_portfolio’ ) ); } } add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘wpse83754_filter_pre_get_posts’ ); … Read more
This was done to restrict the effect of those filters to this one query between both calls. There are probably other instances of WP_Query during page load, and you don’t want to change their results. Imagine what happens when you do not remove the filter: All later new WP_Query(); calls would be restricted to a … Read more
I did something similar, the technique you need to use is called a meta query. Here is the query I wrote to get posts based on a date value stored as a custom field meta value. query_posts( array( ‘post_type’=>’post’, ‘order’=>’ASC’, ‘orderby’=>’meta_value_num’, ‘meta_key’=>’date_event’, ‘posts_per_page’=> -1, ‘meta_query’ => array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array( ‘key’ => ‘date_event’, ‘value’ … Read more
WP_Query is not capable of that kind of logic without a lot of help. There are a few things you can do though: Just run two distinct queries, one for each post type. This is simple and quick but your posts aren’t “mixed” together. I don’t know if that is what you want. You’d then … Read more
Try adding a condition to your filtering function that checks your post type against get_post_type. if ( ‘book’ == get_post_type() ) If you wish to apply this filter to pages as well, try is_singular() and include your custom post type(s) as an argument. is_singular(‘book’); This will return true if any of the following conditions are … Read more
The parameter is not supported by WordPress core, but you can implement it using a filter on ‘posts_where’: // require PHP 5.3+ add_action( ‘posts_where’, function( $where, $query ) { if ( isset( $query->query[‘name__in’] ) && is_array( $query->query[‘name__in’] ) ) { global $wpdb; $names = array_filter( array_map( function( $name ) use( $wpdb ) { $sane = … Read more
This is a local/global variable problem. It can be solved either by changing the pagination function to work with local variable, or by promoting the local variable into global scope. As you are using wp_reset_postdata(), i guess you want to keep the original query. Change the pagination function to accept arguments – if ( ! … Read more
Alex, the codex is your friend. You have a parameter orderby which you can set to order posts by comment_count. You can get the complete list of parameters accepted by orderby in the codex page about WP_Query There is no need for any custom query, you can simply just alter the main query with the … Read more
adding the following arguments did the trick ‘meta_value’ => date(‘Y-m-d h:i’), ‘meta_compare’ => ‘>’,
Use a custom view in the front-end: You can try to modify the SELECT queries in the front-end with the following (alpha) plugin: <?php /** * Plugin Name: wpdb – a custom SELECT view for the wp_posts table on the front-end * Version: alpha */ ! is_admin() && add_filter( ‘query’, function( $query ) { global … Read more
